A classic sandwich gets a delicious updating. Grilled until golden and filled with avocado, chicken and cheese, this looks great on the plate served with a refreshing fruit salsa.

24 slices firm white sandwich bread
6 California avocados, sliced

1 cup milk
1 tsp. salt
Unsalted butter, as needed
3 cups fresh fruit salsa
12 fresh cilantro sprigs
 

Steps
